Gen. Turner Is having the west end Of his
brick building torn down, as the wall seemed
to be giving way. He will have three
thousand dollar frame addition erected at
! once, which will add to the appearance of his
home very much. There is no use to argue
the question, Mr.. Editor, but as sure as the
world stands Gen. Turner is going to have
one of the most attractive homes in South
east Missouri. Now, before leaving this
point. wish to rectify mistake. Some
people Of tbs Valley have the idea that the
brick house was built upon the foundation
of the old frame building that was burned in
1872. This is a great mistake. After the
frame building was burned the old founda-
ton (every rock Of it) was taken away and
new trenches, deeper and wider than the old
ones, were dug. Then ne,o foundation was
built for the brick house. obtain this in
formation from no one, as was an eye wit

The "Base Ball Notes" will be rather

A couple Of pickup. mines played Sunday
with Reese and Clarkson as captains.
Reese's nine defeated Clarkson's by score
of SO to 80. Great features Of the game were
the heavy batting of Elliott and the one
handed catch of Campbell.
The second nine Hayseeds say that Lorenz
must have made that 'brilliant catch of u
liner" when they got home after dark, and
that Tetwier don't claim to be "profes-
sional batter" but he gets there just the
| same.
The Arcadia nine failed to send chal-
lenge to play the second nine Hayseeds Sun.

boys, and ge, nine and play them.
The Hayseeds were to play the Knob club

get together-that Is, the Hayseeds did.
The Pilot Knob "kids" are to play the
Arcadias next Sunday.
Paxton, of Des Arc, twirled the ball fol
Clackson's nine Sunday, and did some very

WILL MANKATo CELEBRATES

Only few weeks remain between
now and the Fourth of July, the day ofall
others that Americans love TO celebrate.
Will Mankato this year arrange for
an old fashioned jubilee? In years past,
when our citizens have taken hold of the
matter, the result has been most crafty
ing. For two years we have "laid Off
as it were, and given our neighbors an
opportunity to fire off their enthusiasm.
This year we should arrange for grand
celebration. Mankato was never so
prosperous as now, and there are a
great many old time friends residing in
the Southern portion of the State who
have not visited us for some time, and
an opportunity presented them now to
come and look us oyer, enjoy the hospi-
tality of the citizens for day and par
ticipate in real old fashioned Indepen-
dence Disqualification would bring an
immense crowd. What say orr fire
boys to taking hold of the matter and
! arrange for glorious elbow out?''
